    摘要: An impedance matching system and a network for impedance matching at a driver circuit output for high frequency input-output devices. The impedance matching network comprises an adjustable-length transmission line having a length adjusted in proportion to the magnitude of transients on the driver circuit output and an input impedance, which is purely reactive, and is a function of its length. The purpose of the adjustable-length transmission line is to reduce transient voltages by providing a matching impedance for the reactive component of the impedance of the receiver circuit to the driver circuit. In the preferred embodiment, the impedance matching network comprises two parallel conductive lines formed on the system card, shorted by a movable stub, and connected in parallel to the driver circuit. Optionally, the impedance matching network further comprises a control circuit which detects overshoots and undershoots on the driver circuit output and provides a control current proportional to the magnitude of overshoots and undershoots to an electromagnetic adjustment mechanism which provides a linear adjustment to the moveable stub proportional to the control current.

    摘要: An impedance matching system and a network for automatic impedance matching at a driver circuit output for high frequency input-output devices. The impedance matching network comprises a control circuit which varies a control voltage proportionally to the frequency of voltage transients that occur on the driver circuit output, an adjustment mechanism which provides a linear motion proportional to the control voltage, and an adjustable length transmission line whose length is adjusted in proportion to the frequency of voltage transients on the driver circuit output and whose impedance, which is purely reactive, is proportional to its length. The purpose of the adjustable length transmission line is to reduce transient voltages by providing a matching impedance for the reactive component of the impedance of the receiver network to the driver circuit. In the preferred embodiment, the impedance matching network is manufactured on the same chip as the driver circuit.

    摘要: A Sequential Gray Code to Thermometer Code decoder circuit adapted for area efficient use at each pad of an integrated circuit chip for incrementally adjusting a digitally adjustable resistance for continuous or periodic adjustment of on-chip terminations. The sequential decoder for decoding a Gray code count to a T-bit Thermometer code count is constructed of a plurality (T) of cascaded decoder cells, each cell sensing the state of only one bit of the Gray code count. The decoder cells are cascaded to from decoding-latching stages each stage responsive to an individual one of single-bit changes between consecutive counts in the Gray code. Each stage contains a decoding-latching circuit adapted to detecting and latching the occurrence of one single-bit change in the Gray code.
